Syracuse Basketball Vs. Georgia Tech: How to Watch and Listen
By Josh Peelman
The Syracuse Basketball team plays their sixteenth game of the season against ACC conference opponent Georgia Tech Saturday afternoon. Inside The Loud House tells you how you can watch or listen to the game.
Syracuse Basketball is now in ACC play and is finally rounding into the team we thought they could be entering the season. The vaunted 2-3 zone is finally keeping opponents in the fifties and lower sixties, while the offense is finally finding their stride with Marek Dolezaj getting more minutes at center.
On Saturday afternoon though, Syracuse basketball will meet a struggling 9-6 Georgia tech team that ranks among the best defensive teams in the country, according to Syracuse.com. The Yellow Jackets like to force you to play at their speed and tempo which forces hard shots, deep threes and long possessions which keep them in the game. For the Orange to do well on Saturday the Orange will need to make shots early to force Georgia Tech to play catch-up ball which should speed up tempo and hopefully force turnovers which the Orange’s defense can turn into points.
In addition, the Orange need a bounce back game from Oshae Brissett. Brissett has not shot the ball well lately and the Orange need his scoring in addition to Tyus Battle and Elijah Hughes to really spread the floor. Marek Dolezaj is doing a good job at that himself by scoring when he gets the ball, which makes opponents defend him a little better and open up shots for others, but he’s no star like Brissett is. The Orange need to try and get Brissett going in preparation for Duke on Monday.
By just looking at the records this game looks like a no-brainer for Syracuse to win. However, when you take a closer look at Georgia Tech and how they play, this game gets a heck of a lot closer. That fact that their is a nine point spread in this game between these two teams, according to ESPN.com, just seems foolish to me. If it makes you feel better though, our team here at Inside The Loud House believe the Orange should win.
